1t is said that Virginia editor once
accidentally kissed pretty girl at an
evening party, and when he returned
to his Office he tried to make something
that would taste like it by mixing mint
and ice and sugar with SMALL proper
ton of Bourbon-and a Mint-Julep was
the result. Our friend Barker must
have been thinking about such things
when he selected this tobacco which
we are now enjoying.

OLD uncle Harrison Hickman, cold.
whose cottage home is near Cherry's
Station, met a CHRONICLE news-seacher
on the street Wednesday morning and
poured into his funnel-shaped ear a
tale Of sorrow as chilling as the Wes-
tern breeze which was then dallying

he listened.

Wednesday morning, before the dawn,
one jim Dunn, hailinglrom Oak Grove,
KY, took the old mans daughter,
Mary, and together they Skipped by

mans request for information the re-
porter asked Eqsuire Caldwell who
said he had not seen the parties, or
any papers. The police were then
placed on the trail OF Dunn, and the
public may rest assured that they will
nip him in the bud" or follow him

A CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY.

Our Eastern exchanges are dividing the
attention of their readers between the lead
ing current events OF the day, and the
charge OF conspiracy among the Catholic
Church dignitaries Of New York to secure
Blaine's election, the charge resting upon
the authority of DR.. McGlynn. According
to one OF these exchanges it is charged that
the priests of the State OF New York were
ordered to work against Cleveland. More
over, Archbishop Corrigan is accused with
having dene his best to prevent the mar
riage of Blaine, Jr., with Miss Nevins, who
is q Catholic. because he was afraid the ALI
ance would injure the future political
chances of the father. Monsignor Lavelli,
for the cathedral, meets these charges with
a declaration of opinion that the George
McGlynn faction are hand and glove with
Blaine, and that if Cleveland is renomi-
mated either George or some one else will
be put up to draw votes from the Demo-
cratic candidate. If the public is not re-
called with 0 of this it will not be the
fault OF Eastern newspaper reporters, nor
will the topic lose any of it's interest in
through their hands. They will
the most Of it, and when they are
through the wondering public will be quite
as wise as it was when the discussion CON-
menced.

A Successful PugiliSt.

The following clipping from a st. Paul
paper will be OF interest to many in Butte
where Glow is we'll known. and where his
successful career has been watched with in
teTest and satisfaction: John P. Glow, the
Colorado pugiljst, who has never been
whipped. met o. H. Smith, the heavy
weight champion of Dakota, at the Olympic
Theater last Friday night in the presence
OF an audience which packed the house to
the doors. The terms of the match were
that Clio should knock Smith out in eight
rounds or forfeit 5000. Glow won his for.
tleth battle BY flooring his man in the third
round.
The pugilists entered the ring at a quar-.
ter to ten. and Glow Immediately set to
work to accomplish his task in the quick
est possible time. He made several wicked
passes at the Dakotian, but the latter
managed by artful lodging and springing
to prevent the Denver man from reaching
MN. The round ended before a square
blow had been landed.
Glow opened the second round with q
terrific l~eft-hander, which sent Smith to
grass. He had scarcely regained his feet
before Glow found an opening and hit him
announcer sumner. this time on the nose,
and blood began to flow.
The third round was the last. Smith
landed his first blow at the beginning of the
but it did not seriously affect his
antagonist. A little later Glow drove
smith against the ropes 18th a right-hander
on MS left shoulder, and followed up his
by placing a hot one on Smiths
Jusoiar. The Dakota man vent down and
renamed asleep thirty seconds.

the short policy wonld seem safe, but the
ruling figure Of 10 cents for Lake is already
q cut on the cost price for many smaller
mines, and-o this score a reaction might
easily occur. Sales for the last week
reached nearly 1000. 900 pounds, and
were very largely among operators. The
prices paid we're 10 cents for Lake. May
and June, $1O.O5 for July, $1O.1O for Au-
gust and September and $1O.15 to $1O.25
for the later months. The casting brands
have made a feeble show of obtaining $3.50
and 1918, but have found rather a slow
sale at those figures. Furnace material
has been extremely active. The long con-
timed boycott on the Anaconda Matte at
Liverpool was broken by a sale of 1000
tons, at a basis of about 8 cents per pound
at New York for. fine copper. and. aside
from this over ], ZOO tons of black copper
and other matte has been shipped abroad,
thus promising to relieve the domestic mar
ket. Our London market quotes Chill bars

Neutrality-suspicious. for Next Week.

Era Diavolo" was neatly produced last
night at the Grand Opera House by the
Bijou Opera Company, and the chorus,
which is always up to the proper standard
OF work, was exceptionally satisfactory.
Adelaide Randall sang the role Of Zerlina
in her customary good method-carefully,
sweetly, and continuing to win the admir-
alton of her listeners. Nature has aided
her greatly to achieve the success she has
gained. The moment the first note drops
from her ever-smiling lips, supreme silence
reigns in the house. One of the neatest
bits of her work was the disrobing scene in
the second act; it was chaste and fastid-
ious. Mr.. Charles F. Lang's Fra

the second act so tastefully that he had to
repeat it. The Lady Allcash Of Miss Ger

were SO good it is hard to p~articularize.

TRAPPED.
The Neat Way In Which Casey &
Brophy's Book.Keeper Gagged a
Thinf

Recently Messrs. Casey & Brophy have
observed a leakage in some barrels OF
whiskey stored in their warehouse on the
other side of the alley running back OF
their store, unaccountable on any theory
other than stealing. The theft was a mys-
terry until the other day, when their book
keeper, whose desk overlooks the alley and
is Immediately opposite the large iron
door of the rear warehouse. observed a
strange man coming out OF the door, whom
he took to be an acquaintance OF their
teamster, then in the warehouse. On in
'quiry he found that the teamster was as
much in ignorance OF the fellow al he was,
and he said the stranger turned and walked
out of the place as soon as he saw the
tea mster before the latter could inquire his
business. At the same time an empty bottle
was found standing beside the whisky bar
rel. which gave the whole snap away.
The man was evidently the thief h had
been tapping the barrel whenever he could
sneak in unobserved. The warehouse door
~ kept constantly closed and fastened, un
less some one belonging to the store goes
there for something needed. The book

DIPLOMACY.

The MINERS dispatches yesterday morn
ing disclosed the fact that the British Gov
eminent had made no demand on this
country for the release OF the captured Eng.
lieh sealers off the Alaskan coast. OF
course they would not demand their re.
lease. Diplomacy dictated a different
course. The fact is the British Govern
ment holds precisely the same attitude
concerning the Canadian fisheries that the
American Government insists upon con-
corning the seal fisheries of Alaska. The
concessions which We seek from England
in the Atlantic are exactly the same as
those which England seeks from US in the
North Pacific.
The facts in the whole matter are so we'll
stated by the Chicago Herald that we give
them in their entirety: "By the treaty of
1918, now in force, the American fishermen
are prohibited from fishing within three
miles OF the Canadian shore. On the side
OF the New England fishermen it is held
that this means at that distance from the
land following all the in%dentations, while
on the side OF the Canadians it is claimed
pr oAo oloulu oC ~ IS
covering all waters within a line drawn
from headland to %headland, thu giving
themselves sole control OF all estuaries and
arms OF the sea, no matter how extensive
they may be.
In the North Pacific the American Gov
eminent has set up the sa me claim, and,
as a matter of fact, it has done so eyery-
Wh0ro o1nnni fo onno%o RI
for example, the theory which we commend
to the Canadians We would not be able to
claim the waters OF Chesapeake Bay or OF
Long Island Sound as exclusively our own,
but, because they are more thar six miles
in width, we would be obliged to admit for
eigners to them so long as they keep be-
yond the three-mile limit. 1t is in Alaskan
waters, however, that the American claim
is asserted with the most o~verpowering as
surance. In that region we claim iurisdic.
tion over the entire Behring Sea simply be-
cause, on one side, that vast ocean is in.
closed by islands which belong to this Gov
eminent.
The representatives OF Great Britain
have no failed to see the weak point in
che American position, and, as British SUBJ
jects are quite as anxious to kill seals in
Alaska as the Yankees are to catch fs in
the iDlets of Nova Scotia. they have de.
manded the recognition OF the same princi-
pie in boil oceans, if it is to be allowed at |
all. A moments reflection on this point
will convince even a New Highlander that
the question over which he is prone to grow
excited, and which he fondly %imagines con-
Germs himself alone, is in reality a national
question, and that his are not the only
rights involved in the matter. TIE admis.
sion of England's claim in Behring's Sea
will mean the destruction Of the seal fish
cries. which now pay the Government a
revenue OF $317 900, and which can be
made to pay more. The admission OF
American vessels into Canadian inshore
fisheries would be of doubtful value"

THE SHOOTING TOURNAMENT.

A Committee Appointed to Canvass for
Subscriptions That Ought to be
Liberal.
The Rod and Gun Club had a meeting
last night. There was a good attendance
and lively discussion OF the tournament to
be held in Butte this summer. Nothing
definite was decided, save that it must
com off during race week, and all arrange
ments depend on the amount of money
that can be raised for prizes. With this end
in view a committee, consisting Of Messrs.
Moves, Messing and Smith. was appointed
to canvass the city, and l. is hoped that a
liberal purse will be contributed to the
club SO that the prizes offered will be OF
sufficient Importance to draw to the city
such q of sportsmeD n others
as will be of substantial benefit to the city
Last year Bozeman made up q purse OF
$3.50, and Helena contributed literally to
the tournament held in the latter place.
The result was a OF strangers at
both pla ces from all parts of the Territory,
who brought business to each that far out
weighed the contributions in either town.
Butte ought at least to be able to offer
purses amounting to S $1,000, and then the
large influx of visitors who will be drawn
here by the spirited contests the prizes will
evoke will repay the outlay many
fold. Hundreds will come to see
and to participate where the
prizes offered will induce a congregation OF
the best shots in the Territory; whereas,
if the prizes offered are insignificant, little
outside attendance can be counted upon.
The club hope that those interested in hav-
ing such an influx of strangers as will
really benefit the town will come down
literally with their contributions when the
make their rounds as they will
thereby insure the success ofthe tournament
and reap a harvest themselves.
Invitations will be sem to-day to the
Deer Lodge Rod and Gun Club to come
over a week from tomorrow for a friendly
shoot with the Butte club, when the gen.
of the latter club hope to show tueir
visitors a return of the courtesies the
club extended to them a few weeks
ago.

Some time ago Mr.. Gladstone expressed
his reliance upon the growth OF favorable
English sentiment to solve the Irish ques-
ton. That sentiment is beginning to make
itself felt. The conduct OF the Tory minis
try in refusing the reasonable proposition
for impartial inquiry in which all those &C.
cused by the Times concurred, is denounced
from one end OF the United Kingdom to
the other. Mr.. Gladstone moved an in
quiry into the allegations OF the Tory or
gan. Mr.. Dillon urged that every insinua-
ton concerning him be investigated. Mr..
Parnell asked that the scope Of the inves-
tiSation be enlarged so that he might prove
tho forgery Of the Times fac simile, and all
parliamentary elements excepting the Tory
ministry united in the petition for a full in
quiry with open doors. When all this had
been done the ministerial majority refused
svsry 'propesition that could result in the
speedy determination of the controversy.
1t 10 inconceivable that in a representative
government any ministry can long survive
that thus persists in persecution without
chance for redress and Islander without op-
portunity for r~sfutation.

The lot jumper is abroad in Helena and
that city is in trouble. Some parties who
have not the fear of the ~vigilantes before
their yes and whose sleep is not troubled
by visions Of the cabalistic figures. 3-7-77
marked upon their doors, have discovered
that other parties did not comply with
the law in securing certain lots, jumped
them-the lots, not the parties. The
owners OF the lots are in a rage, the press
OF that city denounce the jumping, while
the jumpers look quietly on with the con.
fidence OF a christian behind four aces.
How it will end no one knows. Unless set.
Elements be made the courts will be ap-
pealed to and long and tedious litigation
ensue. 1t is within the range of pos sibilities
that the beautiful little city on the banks
Of Last Chance may wake up some fine
morning and find a line Of barbed wire
fence built around it. The outlook is not
IN encouraging one for Helena.

Speaking of a new steamer now in course

Speaking of a new steamer now in course
of construction on the Clyde for the Inman
and International line, a writer on naval
architecture in Scribner's Magazi iii points
out the advantage of twin screws in the
case of the breaking of a shaft. There is
also an advantage in the st ering through
each set OF machinery working separately
and independently of the other. The yes.
sci referred to is to be of $500 tons burden,
with a speed guaranteed to equal that OF
any other vessel afloat, and it is claimed
for it. owing to the many watertight COM
partments and their peculiar construction,
that it will be impossible to sink it by an
ordinary collision. 1t is expected that it
will have abundant business on account
OF it's two important features, safety and
celebrity, and it will probably.prove the en-
tering wedge for a radical revolution in
building.-Deseret News.
